      Verdict

      A trio of recent winners to consider but there are concerns about all three. Blazing Desert's win came in an amateurs' race here over a longer trip and Waving beat lower rated opposition in a maiden at Lingfield. Pahente left his previous form behind to score by seven lengths at Kempton last time but has been raised 10lb for his trouble and the top weight BRUNSTON makes more appeal. He scored over track and trip off an 8lb higher mark at this time last year and recent improvement suggests a return to form is imminent. Arashi only has outside claims on his first start since August.
